4. "Check Salt" LED illuminated or flashingCheck salt level in pool/spa. If salt level is low, add salt according to chart on page 4.Before adding large quantities of salt, it is advisable to have your salt level profession-ally checked.

5. "High Salt" LED illuminatedCheck salt level in pool/spa. If salt level is too high, lower salt level by draining some ofthe pool water out of the pool and replace with fresh water. Continue until the saltconcentration is at recommended levels.

6. "Inspect Cell" LED flashingInspect and clean cell according to directions on page 8. When done, press the "diag-nostic" button for 3 seconds to stop the "Inspect Cell" LED flashing.

7. "Inspect Cell" LED illuminatedRemove and inspect the cell for scale. If the cell is scaled, follow the directions on page8 for cell cleaning. If the pool has the proper amount of salt and the "Inspect Cell" LEDis still illuminated, the cell may be worn and need replacement.

8. Possible causes of little or no free chlorine residual- Aqua Rite® switch in OFF position.- Desired Output % adjustment setting is too low.- Low stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid).- Filter pump time too short (8 hours for average size pools, more for large pools)- Salt level too low (below 2400 ppm, Check Salt LED on).- Salt level too high (High Salt LED on).- Very warm pools increase chlorine demand--increase Output %, or filter run time.- Cold water (below 50ºF) causes Aqua Rite to stop generating (Generating LED flash-

ing).- Excessive scaling on cell.- High level of Nitrogen in pool water.- "Yellow Out" or similar treatment recently used. Some yellow algae treatments will

use chlorine at a very high rate and deplete the residual free chlorine. Manually shockthe pool if indicated in the directions on the algae treatment. It still may be a matter ofdays before the pool returns to "normal" and chlorine tests will show the desired 1-3ppm free chlorine reading.

OPERATIONThe Aqua Rite® is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanitation.The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water.These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The Aqua Riteautomatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine which killsbacteria and algae in the pool. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killingbacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need toadd sanitizing chemicals to your pool. The only time you may need to add more saltto the pool is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing(not evaporation).

The Aqua Rite is designed to handle the purification needs of most residential swim-ming pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial poolsup to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). Check local codes for other restrictions. Theactual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to batherload, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness.

NOTE: Goldline does not recommend using the Aqua Rite to generate bromine.

NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in apool or spa using natural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking,a qualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriatetype, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a saline poolwith electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.

Water ChemistryThe table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by The Association ofPool and Spa Professionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua Riteare the salt level and stabilizer. It is important to maintain these levels in order toprevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test yourwater periodically. Your Authorized Aqua Rite Dealer (AARD) or most pool storescan provide you with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Besure to tell the pool store that you are using an Aqua Rite chlorine generator.

Troubleshooting

Visit www.goldlinecontrols.com for helpful information on operation, maintenanceand troubleshooting your Aqua Rite® Electronic Chlorine Generator. You may alsocall for technical assistance at 888-921-POOL. Technicians at the factory are avail-able from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM Eastern time, Monday through Friday. Be sure to havethe following information when you call:

1. Model and Serial # of control and cell2. Date of installation3. Installing Company or Dealer4. Salt level

Diagnostic DisplaysSequential pushes of the small "diagnostic" button next to the LCD display willcause the Aqua Rite to display the following information:

1. Pool temperature (xx degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius)2. Cell voltage (typically 22.0 to 25.0 volts when chlorine is being generated, other-

wise 30-35V)3. Cell current (typically 4.50 to 7.80 amps when chlorine is being generated, other-

wise 0 amps)4. Desired Output % ("0P" -- "100P" depending on knob position or input from remote

pool automation controller)5. Instant salinity ( -xxxx ppm or -x.xx grams/Liter)6. Product name sent to the pool automation control display ("AL-0" which signifies

"Aqua Rite")7. Software revision level (r1.xx)

On the 8th push of the button the display will revert back to the default salt display.Also, if the button is not pushed for 30 seconds, the display will revert back to thestandard salt display.

Common Problems and Solutions1. "Power" LED not onCheck to make sure either 120VAC or 240VAC input power is connected to theproper screw terminals at the Aqua Rite control. Verify input voltage with a voltme-ter. If there is input power, the fuse may have blown. The Aqua Rite is protected bya 20 amp mini ATO fuse located on the circuit board above the cell connector.

2. "Generating" LED flashingThe temperature of the pool water is too high or low to operate. You can override thisby switching the main switch to SUPER CHLORINATE. The Aqua Rite will run atmaximum output for the remainder of the current pump cycle or 24 hours, whichevercomes first.

3. "No Flow" LED illuminatedThe Aqua Rite has sensed a no flow condition and has stopped generating chlorine.Check that the flow switch is plugged into the connector on the bottom of the controlunit and that the wire is not cut or damaged. Make sure you have at least 12" ofstraight pipe before the flow switch. If there is adequate flow and the LED is still on,check that the arrows on the flow switch (on top of hex) are pointing in the directionof flow.

Saturation indexThe saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is anindicator of the pool water "balance". Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±.2.If the Si is below -0.2, the water is corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolvedinto the water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and staining will occur. Use the chartbelow to determine the saturation index.

Salt LevelUse the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) need to beadded to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements arein feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown.

The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppmbeing optimal. If the level is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool andadd salt according to the chart on page 4. A low salt level will reduce the efficiencyof the Aqua Rite® and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can causethe Aqua Rite® to shutdown and may begin to give a salty taste to your pool (gener-ally, the salt will begin to be tasted at a level of about 3500-4000 ppm). The salt inyour pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimmingseason should be small. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water becauseof splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due toevaporation.

Type of Salt to UseIt is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure.This is common food quality or water softener salt and is usually available in 40-80 lb.bags labeled "Coarse Solar Salt". It is also acceptable to use water conditioning saltpellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, salt withyellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.

How to Add or Remove SaltFor new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster tocure. Turn the circulating pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the saltaround to speed up the dissolving process--do not allow salt to pile up on the bottomof the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from the maindrain (use pool vac if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly dispersethroughout the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change insalt concentration.

The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially drain the pool and refillwith fresh water.

Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will mostlikely decline together. Use the chart on page 5 to determine how much stabilizermust be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

Input power for use with Goldline, Pentair and Polariscontrols:Wire the Aqua Rite® DIRECTLY to 120/240VAC power (not through timer or relay).

Optional Goldline, Pentair and Polaris controls:The Goldline, Pentair and Polaris controls use a 4 wire connection to communicate to theAqua Rite and can be wired up to 500' apart. Any outdoor rated 4 conductor cable canbe used. Refer to each manufacturer's instructions and the wiring diagrams below forproper wiring connection to the Aqua Rite. NOTE: There must be only 1 "primary" unit.All other Aqua Rite units must be configured as "secondary".

Goldline - Attach wires to proper screw terminals as shown below.

Pentair - Attach wires to opposite numbered screw terminals as shown below. Notethat the colors marked on the Pentair PCB do not match the Aqua Rite.

WiringPower must be shut off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. Be sure tofollow Local and NEC electrical codes. To provide safe operation, the Aqua Rite®

must be properly grounded and bonded.

Input Power For stand alone operation:Wire the Aqua Rite to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer. It is very importantthat the Aqua Rite is powered only when the pump is running.

Refer to the wiring label on the Aqua Rite as well as the diagram below to determinecorrect wiring connections. The Aqua Rite is shipped from the factory with theconfiguration jumpers in 240VAC position. If using 120VAC, move the jumpers asshown below. For Canadian models, the Aqua Rite shall be connected to a circuitprotected by a class A ground fault interrupter. Be sure to connect the ground wireto the green ground screw terminal located on the bottom of the enclosure.

Bonding:A lug used for bonding is attached to the bottom of the Aqua Rite enclosure (seediagram below). The Aqua Rite must be bonded with an 8 AWG copper wire (6AWG Canada) to the pool bonding system.

Electrolytic Cell and Flow Switch:The electrolytic cell and flow switch cables are terminated with connectors whichplug into the Aqua Rite, for easy attachment and removal. The door of the Aqua Ritemust be open to access the cell cable connector. The flow switch plugs into a con-nector (similar to a telephone jack) located outside, on the bottom of the enclosure.Refer to the diagram below for the location of these connections.

PlumbingEnsure that the Aqua Rite® installation does not constitute a cross connection withthe local potable water supply. Consult local plumbing codes.

The flow switch and cell should be plumbed in the return line to the pool/spa. Thepreferred installation is after (downstream) all the pool equipment (filter, heater,solar, etc.). The electrolytic cell and flow switch tee fitting are designed to be plumbedinto 2" (51mm) PVC pipe. Adapters (not included) can be used for systems with1½" (38 mm) plumbing.

For proper plumbing, refer to the overview diagram on page 9. Alternate configura-tions #1 shows the flow switch can also be in front of the cell. Configurations #2 and#3 allow for chlorination of both the pool and spa during spa spillover operation, butprevent overchlorination of the spa during "spa only" operation. Never use configu-ration #4.

Flow Switch: IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12" (25cm) straight piperun before (upstream) the flow switch. If the switch is plumbedafter the cell, the cell can by counted as the 12" (25cm) of straightpipe. To ensure proper operation, verify that the arrow on theflow switch (located on top of gray hex) points in the directionof water flow.

Electrolytic Cell: Install using the unions provided. Tighten unions BY HANDfor a watertight seal. For pool/spa combination systems withspillover, use configurations #2 or #3 above to allow chlorina-tion of both the pool and spa during spillover but preventingoverchlorination when operating the spa only.

Controls

Main SwitchAUTO: For normal operation, the Main Switch should be left in the AUTO posi-tion. In this position the Aqua Rite will produce chlorine according to the "De-sired Output %" adjustment setting for the entire filtering/pumping cycle.

SUPER CHLORINATE: When you have an abnormally high bather load, alarge amount of rain, a cloudy water condition, or any other condition whichneeds a large amount of purification to be introduced, put the Main Switch in theSUPER CHLORINATE position. This electronically “super chlorinates” (shocks)the water for 24 hours (filter pump must be on during this time) or until thepower has been turned off, whichever comes first. At the end of the super chlo-rinate time, be sure to put the switch back into the AUTO position.

OFF: The OFF position prevents the Aqua Rite from energizing the electrolyticcell. In this position there is no chlorine generation. NOTE: To service any ofthe pool equipment or the Aqua Rite, turn the power off at the circuit breaker.

Indicator LED'sPOWER When illuminated, the Aqua Rite has input power.

GENERATING This LED is on steady during normal operation. When flash-ing, the pool water is too hot or cold to operate.

SUPER CHLORINATE Illuminates during super-chlorination. See descriptionabove.

REMOTELY CONTROLLED When illuminated, indicates that a remote poolautomation control (Goldline Aqua Logic, Pentair Intellitouch, Polaris Eos, etc.) iscontrolling the Aqua Rite--the main switch and "Desired Output %" adjustmentare inactive. When flashing, the Aqua Logic, Intellitouch or Eos is in SERVICE orTIME-OUT mode and the Main Switch and "Desired Output %" adjustment areactive.

NO FLOW When illuminated, the flow switch has detected no water flowingand the Aqua Rite has stopped generating chlorine. A flashing LED indicates a15-60 second time delay period.

CHECK SALT When flashing, the salt level is low (below 2700 ppm) and AquaRite is generating at low efficiency. When illuminated steady, the salt level is toolow and Aqua Rite has shut down. Before adding large quantities of salt, it isadvisable to have your salt level professionally checked.

HIGH SALT When illuminated, the salt level is too high and Aqua Rite has shutdown.

INSPECT CELL A flashing indicator signifies that either the cell efficiency isreduced or that it is time for regularly scheduled cell inspection. In either case,inspect cell and clean if necessary. When illuminated steady, cell efficiency isgreatly reduced and the Aqua Rite has stopped producing chlorine. Inspect,clean or replace if necessary.

INSTALLATIONInstallation must be performed in accordance with Local and NEC codes.

Preparing Pool/Spa WaterRefer to page 1 for recommended chemical levels. The pool's chemistry must bebalanced BEFORE activating the Aqua Rite®. NOTE: If the pool does not have newwater, add 1 quart (1 liter) of metal remover and 1 quart (1 liter) of non-copperbased algaecide to the pool, per manufacturer's instructions. This ensures a quick,troublefree transfer to the Aqua Rite system.

Mounting the Aqua Rite ControlThe Aqua Rite is contained in a raintight enclosure that is suitable for outdoor mount-ing. The control must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (2 meters) horizontal dis-tance (or more, if local codes require) from the pool/spa.

The control is designed to mount vertically on a flat surface with the knockoutsfacing downward. Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heatfrom inside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do notmount Aqua Rite inside a panel or tight enclosed area.

"Desired Output %" adjustment knobThe "Desired Output %" adjustment knob is located in the lower center of the Aqua Ritecontrol panel. This setting is used to control the amount of chlorine the Aqua Ritegenerates. Raise this setting to increase chlorine level and lower it to decrease chlorinelevel. Note: The "Desired Output %" adjustment will not function when the Aqua Riteis being controlled by a remote pool automation control.

Salt DisplayThe Salt Display shows the current salt concentration of the pool water. Readings are inppm (parts per million). Refer to the Water Chemistry section for recommended saltlevels as well as how to add/remove salt.

The factory default display is in English units (ppm). If Metric units (grams per liter) arepreferred, push the small button next the display once. The display will now show thepool temperature. With the temperature displayed, move the main switch from AUTO toSUPER CHLORINATE and back to AUTO. The temperature display will instantly switchto Celsius and the salt display will switch to grams/liter. Repeat this process to switchback to English units. (ppm and Fahrenheit)

OperationAssuming that the water chemical levels are in the recommended range, there are threefactors that you can control which directly contribute to the amount of chlorine theAqua Rite will generate:

1. filter time each day (hours)2. the "Desired Output %" setting3. the amount of salt in the pool

The filter pump timer should be set so that all of the water in the pool passes through thefilter each day. For pools with high chlorine demand, the timer may have to be set longerto generate enough chlorine.

To find the optimum "Desired Output %" setting, start at approximately 50%. Test thechlorine level every few days and adjust the dial up or down accordingly. It usuallytakes 2-3 adjustments to find the ideal setting for your pool/spa and after that, it shouldonly take minor, infrequent adjustments. Because the chlorine demand of the poolincreases with temperature most people find they have to adjust the dial up at the peakof the summer and down during the colder periods. The Aqua Rite automatically stopsgenerating when the pool water temperatures drops below 50ºF. This is usually not aproblem because bacteria and algae stop growing at this temperature. You can overridethis low temperature cutoff by switching to SUPER CHLORINATE for a day.

Prevent over-chlorination during cold weather: Check chlorine levels periodically. Mostpools require less chlorine during cold weather and the “Desired Output %” dial shouldbe turned down accordingly.

When connected to a pool automation control (Goldline Aqua Logic, PentairIntellitouch or Polaris Eos):The Aqua Rite is designed to operate with all pool automation controls. The AquaLogic, Intellitouch or Eos can fully control the function of the Aqua Rite chlorinator inaddition to the other pool equipment. The "Remotely Controlled" LED on the Aqua Ritechlorinator will be illuminated when the automation control is activated. Adjustment ofthe Aqua Rite "Desired Output %" and also Superchlorination can be controlled fromthe pool automation display/keypad. Refer to the pool automation control instructions

for more information. The Aqua Rite salt display and LED indicators operate as normal,but the main switch and "Desired Output %" dial are disabled.

Maintaining the Aqua Rite SystemTo maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually in-spect the cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The Aqua Rite® will remindyou to do this by flashing the "Inspect Cell" LED after approximately 500 hours ofoperation. After you inspect the cell (and clean, if necessary) press the small "diagnos-tic" button next to the display for 3 seconds to stop the flashing "Inspect Cell" LED andstart the timer for the next 500 hours.

The Aqua Rite electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the elec-tronic control’s logic. In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the cell workingat optimum efficiency. In areas where water is hard (high mineral content) and in poolswhere the water chemistry has been allowed to get "out of balance", the cell may requireperiodic cleaning. The "Inspect Cell" LED will indicate if cell efficiency is decreasedand servicing is necessary. If the "Inspect Cell" LED remains on after a thoroughcleaning, the cell may be worn and require replacement.

Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Rite cellTurn off power to the Aqua Rite before removing the electrolytic cell. Once removed,look inside the cell and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky depos-its) on the plates and for any debris which has passed through the filter and caught onthe plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If deposits are seen, use a high pressuregarden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use a plastic or woodtool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrape depositsoff of plates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusually highcalcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually the cause). If this is not corrected,you may to have to periodically clean the cell. The simplest way to avoid this is to bringthe pool chemistry to the recommended levels as specified.

Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will notremove the majority of deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to Aqua Rite. Removecell from piping. In a clean plastic container, mix a 4:1 solution of water to muriatic acid(one gallon of water to one quart of muriatic acid). ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER -NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and appropriate eyeprotection. The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of thecell so that the wire harness compartment is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coilthe wiring before immersing the cell. The cell should soak for a few minutes and thenrinse with a high pressure garden hose. If any deposits are still visible, repeat soakingand rinsing. Replace cell and inspect again periodically.

WinterizingThe Aqua Rite electrolytic cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by freezingwater just as your pool plumbing would. In areas of the country which experiencesevere or extended periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water from thepump, filter, and supply and return lines before any freezing conditions occur. Theelectronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and should not beremoved.

Spring Start-upDO NOT turn the Aqua Rite on, until the pool water chemistry has been brought to theproper levels. This information can be found on page 1.

Because the enclosure also acts as a heat sink (disperses heatfrom inside the box), it is important not to block the four sides of the control. Do notmount Aqua Rite inside a panel or tight enclosed area.

PlumbingEnsure that the Aqua Rite® installation does not constitute a cross connection withthe local potable water supply. Consult local plumbing codes.

The flow switch and cell should be plumbed in the return line to the pool/spa. Thepreferred installation is after (downstream) all the pool equipment (filter, heater,solar, etc.). The electrolytic cell and flow switch tee fitting are designed to be plumbedinto 2" (51mm) PVC pipe. Adapters (not included) can be used for systems with1½" (38 mm) plumbing.

For proper plumbing, refer to the overview diagram on page 9. Alternate configura-tions #1 shows the flow switch can also be in front of the cell. Configurations #2 and#3 allow for chlorination of both the pool and spa during spa spillover operation, butprevent overchlorination of the spa during "spa only" operation. Never use configu-ration #4.

Flow Switch: IMPORTANT: There must be at least a 12" (25cm) straight piperun before (upstream) the flow switch. If the switch is plumbedafter the cell, the cell can by counted as the 12" (25cm) of straightpipe. To ensure proper operation, verify that the arrow on theflow switch (located on top of gray hex) points in the directionof water flow.

Electrolytic Cell: Install using the unions provided. Tighten unions BY HANDfor a watertight seal. For pool/spa combination systems withspillover, use configurations #2 or #3 above to allow chlorina-tion of both the pool and spa during spillover but preventingoverchlorination when operating the spa only.

Cutout forcell cable

WiringPower must be shut off at the circuit breaker before performing any wiring. Be sure tofollow Local and NEC electrical codes. To provide safe operation, the Aqua Rite®

must be properly grounded and bonded.

Input Power For stand alone operation:Wire the Aqua Rite to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer. It is very importantthat the Aqua Rite is powered only when the pump is running.

Refer to the wiring label on the Aqua Rite as well as the diagram below to determinecorrect wiring connections. The Aqua Rite is shipped from the factory with theconfiguration jumpers in 240VAC position. If using 120VAC, move the jumpers asshown below. For Canadian models, the Aqua Rite shall be connected to a circuitprotected by a class A ground fault interrupter. Be sure to connect the ground wireto the green ground screw terminal located on the bottom of the enclosure.

Bonding:A lug used for bonding is attached to the bottom of the Aqua Rite enclosure (seediagram below). The Aqua Rite must be bonded with an 8 AWG copper wire (6AWG Canada) to the pool bonding system.

Electrolytic Cell and Flow Switch:The electrolytic cell and flow switch cables are terminated with connectors whichplug into the Aqua Rite, for easy attachment and removal. The door of the Aqua Ritemust be open to access the cell cable connector. The flow switch plugs into a con-nector (similar to a telephone jack) located outside, on the bottom of the enclosure.Refer to the diagram below for the location of these connections.

Salt LevelUse the chart on page 4 to determine how much salt in pounds or (Kgs) need to beadded to reach the recommended levels. Use the equations below (measurements arein feet/gallons and meters/liters) if pool size is unknown.

The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppmbeing optimal. If the level is low, determine the number of gallons in the pool andadd salt according to the chart on page 4. A low salt level will reduce the efficiencyof the Aqua Rite® and result in low chlorine production. A high salt level can causethe Aqua Rite® to shutdown and may begin to give a salty taste to your pool (gener-ally, the salt will begin to be tasted at a level of about 3500-4000 ppm). The salt inyour pool/spa is constantly recycled and the loss of salt throughout the swimmingseason should be small. This loss is due primarily to the addition of water becauseof splashing, backwashing, or draining (because of rain). Salt is not lost due toevaporation.

Type of Salt to UseIt is important to use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is greater than 99% pure.This is common food quality or water softener salt and is usually available in 40-80 lb.bags labeled "Coarse Solar Salt". It is also acceptable to use water conditioning saltpellets, however, it will take longer for them to dissolve. Do not use rock salt, salt withyellow prussiate of soda, salt with anti-caking additives, or iodized salt.

How to Add or Remove SaltFor new plaster pools, wait 10-14 days before adding salt to allow the plaster tocure. Turn the circulating pump on and add salt directly into the pool. Brush the saltaround to speed up the dissolving process--do not allow salt to pile up on the bottomof the pool. Run the filter pump for 24 hours with the suction coming from the maindrain (use pool vac if there is no main drain) to allow the salt to evenly dispersethroughout the pool. The salt display may take 24 hours to respond to the change insalt concentration.

The only way to lower the salt concentration is to partially drain the pool and refillwith fresh water.

Always check stabilizer (cyanuric acid), when checking salt. These levels will mostlikely decline together. Use the chart on page 5 to determine how much stabilizermust be added to raise the level to 80 ppm.

Saturation indexThe saturation index (Si) relates to the calcium and alkalinity in the water and is anindicator of the pool water "balance". Your water is properly balanced if the Si is 0 ±.2.If the Si is below -0.2, the water is corrosive and plaster pool walls will be dissolvedinto the water. If the Si is above +0.2, scaling and staining will occur. Use the chartbelow to determine the saturation index.

OPERATIONThe Aqua Rite® is an automatic chlorine generation system for pool or spa sanitation.The operation requires a low concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water.These levels are low enough that it normally will not be tasted. The Aqua Riteautomatically sanitizes your pool by converting the salt into free chlorine which killsbacteria and algae in the pool. Chlorine will revert back to sodium chloride after killingbacteria. These reactions will continuously recycle virtually eliminating the need toadd sanitizing chemicals to your pool. The only time you may need to add more saltto the pool is when water is replenished due to backwashing, draining, or splashing(not evaporation).

The Aqua Rite is designed to handle the purification needs of most residential swim-ming pools up to 40,000 gallons (150,000 liters), or the needs of most commercial poolsup to 25,000 gallons (95,000 liters). Check local codes for other restrictions. Theactual amount of chlorination required to properly sanitize a pool varies due to batherload, rainfall, temperature, and the pool's cleanliness.

NOTE: Goldline does not recommend using the Aqua Rite to generate bromine.

NOTE: Before installing this product as part of a saline water purification system in apool or spa using natural stone for coping or for immediately adjacent patios/decking,a qualified stone installation specialist should be consulted regarding the appropriatetype, installation, sealant (if any) and maintenance of stone used around a saline poolwith electronic chlorine generator in your particular location and circumstances.

Water ChemistryThe table below summarizes the levels that are recommended by The Association ofPool and Spa Professionals (APSP). The only special requirements for the Aqua Riteare the salt level and stabilizer. It is important to maintain these levels in order toprevent corrosion or scaling and to ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. Test yourwater periodically. Your Authorized Aqua Rite Dealer (AARD) or most pool storescan provide you with the chemicals and procedures to adjust the water chemistry. Besure to tell the pool store that you are using an Aqua Rite chlorine generator.

Troubleshooting

Visit www.goldlinecontrols.com for helpful information on operation, maintenanceand troubleshooting your Aqua Rite® Electronic Chlorine Generator. You may alsocall for technical assistance at 888-921-POOL. Technicians at the factory are avail-able from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM Eastern time, Monday through Friday. Be sure to havethe following information when you call:

1. Model and Serial # of control and cell2. Date of installation3. Installing Company or Dealer4. Salt level

Diagnostic DisplaysSequential pushes of the small "diagnostic" button next to the LCD display willcause the Aqua Rite to display the following information:

1. Pool temperature (xx degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius)2. Cell voltage (typically 22.0 to 25.0 volts when chlorine is being generated, other-

wise 30-35V)3. Cell current (typically 4.50 to 7.80 amps when chlorine is being generated, other-

wise 0 amps)4. Desired Output % ("0P" -- "100P" depending on knob position or input from remote

pool automation controller)5. Instant salinity ( -xxxx ppm or -x.xx grams/Liter)6. Product name sent to the pool automation control display ("AL-0" which signifies

"Aqua Rite")7. Software revision level (r1.xx)

On the 8th push of the button the display will revert back to the default salt display.Also, if the button is not pushed for 30 seconds, the display will revert back to thestandard salt display.

Common Problems and Solutions1. "Power" LED not onCheck to make sure either 120VAC or 240VAC input power is connected to theproper screw terminals at the Aqua Rite control. Verify input voltage with a voltme-ter. If there is input power, the fuse may have blown. The Aqua Rite is protected bya 20 amp mini ATO fuse located on the circuit board above the cell connector.

2. "Generating" LED flashingThe temperature of the pool water is too high or low to operate. You can override thisby switching the main switch to SUPER CHLORINATE. The Aqua Rite will run atmaximum output for the remainder of the current pump cycle or 24 hours, whichevercomes first.

3. "No Flow" LED illuminatedThe Aqua Rite has sensed a no flow condition and has stopped generating chlorine.Check that the flow switch is plugged into the connector on the bottom of the controlunit and that the wire is not cut or damaged. Make sure you have at least 12" ofstraight pipe before the flow switch. If there is adequate flow and the LED is still on,check that the arrows on the flow switch (on top of hex) are pointing in the directionof flow.

4. "Check Salt" LED illuminated or flashingCheck salt level in pool/spa. If salt level is low, add salt according to chart on page 4.Before adding large quantities of salt, it is advisable to have your salt level profession-ally checked.

5. "High Salt" LED illuminatedCheck salt level in pool/spa. If salt level is too high, lower salt level by draining some ofthe pool water out of the pool and replace with fresh water. Continue until the saltconcentration is at recommended levels.

6. "Inspect Cell" LED flashingInspect and clean cell according to directions on page 8. When done, press the "diag-nostic" button for 3 seconds to stop the "Inspect Cell" LED flashing.

7. "Inspect Cell" LED illuminatedRemove and inspect the cell for scale. If the cell is scaled, follow the directions on page8 for cell cleaning. If the pool has the proper amount of salt and the "Inspect Cell" LEDis still illuminated, the cell may be worn and need replacement.

8. Possible causes of little or no free chlorine residual- Aqua Rite® switch in OFF position.- Desired Output % adjustment setting is too low.- Low stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid).- Filter pump time too short (8 hours for average size pools, more for large pools)- Salt level too low (below 2400 ppm, Check Salt LED on).- Salt level too high (High Salt LED on).- Very warm pools increase chlorine demand--increase Output %, or filter run time.- Cold water (below 50ºF) causes Aqua Rite to stop generating (Generating LED flash-

ing).- Excessive scaling on cell.- High level of Nitrogen in pool water.- "Yellow Out" or similar treatment recently used. Some yellow algae treatments will

use chlorine at a very high rate and deplete the residual free chlorine. Manually shockthe pool if indicated in the directions on the algae treatment. It still may be a matter ofdays before the pool returns to "normal" and chlorine tests will show the desired 1-3ppm free chlorine reading.

9. "-Pcb-" displayed and all 4 red/yellow LEDs are illuminated.A possible Printed Circuit Board fault has been detected. Call forservice.
